N.

Always love coming here. I walk in and am immersed in a whole new world. The decor, lighting and music at to the cozy atmosphere. The views are amazing even in wet weather and the fireplaces are inviting when there is a chill. There is a playpen I can lose my kids too as well while I drink my wine.

Beautiful place for wine tasting. Staffs were very nice. Very Spacious specially for parties and marriage function.

I'm a wedding planner, and recently had the opportunity to work with Ascension Wine Estate on my clients wedding. Marina, Axel, Robert and the entire team were fantastic, and nothing was a problem. The day ran really well, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any function. True professionals! A fabulous spot set in a beautiful spot.

I would like to say thank you to all staff and especially Marina. You have provided the great customer service. You are professional, helpful, understanding, kind and great team to work with. Marina always tried to meet our expectations and even more she always positively and nicely surprised us by doing her best to please us as their customers. The place is amazing. The food was great too. I am happy I have chosen this place as our wedding venue. I highly recommend everyone to go with this wine yard to celebrate your big day. Thank you very much for everything. I miss you all already, you were very helpful through out the preparation and organisational part of the wedding. Thank you for Raki, it was just in time, right before going to the ceremony. Once again, highly recommend, great team to work with! Best regards and wishes to all of you, Velya and Jakub

This was our 3rd visit to Ascension. This time we came for wine tasting and a platter. Our hostess greeted us warmly and there were 2 other small groups in our tasting as well which was fun. She was very welcoming and knowledgeable, and she made great platter to go with the tasting.The wines were very good and we purchased "The Ascent" Chardonnay. It was a very nice experience! I absolutely recommend to visit this place!

I attended the Bridal&Bliss Event at Ascensions Winery as a vendor in May. I was blown away by the professionalism and kindness of the team at Ascensions - they were always willing to help and lend and a hand. The venue was absolutely stunning and we had the most perfect weather! The venue is so unique and has so many different possibilities when it comes to planning a wedding or event! Would highly recommended to anyone looking to wow their guests in a beautiful setting.

I loved photographing at this venue, such lovely staff and a beautiful space for a wedding reception! the ceremony in the vines was stunning as well.

Beautiful venue for weddings etc, food and service was top notch 👍

The setting is so beautiful and I was looking forward to our lunch, but the service let it down. Food was nice, but during our lunch no one came to top up our waters and when we've asked them to do it they still forgotten. The waitress also wasn't very helpful with the choice or food or drinks. Really hope they can do better with their service because this place is beautiful.

We have just celebrated our wedding here on Thursday (13.12.18) and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day. The venue was absolutely stunning!!! We had so many people comment on what a gorgeous venue Ascension is. We couldn’t of been any happier!! The gardens are so amazing with all the beautiful jasmine growing and the vines climbing up the walls. A spectacular venue to get married in and it made for the most beautiful wedding photos. The service and organisation on the night/day of our wedding was second to none. The food and drinks were all superb!! Everyone was talking about how delicious the food was! (Especially that lamb belly - to die for!) Service was amazing from the bar staff to the chefs to the waiters and everyone who had a hand in helping to make sure our day went off without a hitch. We have to especially say a huge thank you to Marina - the most amazing wedding coordinator who organised our amazing day and night. She is so friendly, super helpful and organised, hardworking and went above and beyond! MARINA & THE ASCENSION - THANK YOU SO MUCH. We loved every minute of our day - couldn’t have asked for anything better or more beautiful. Hoana & Fras x

We recently had our fusion (Indian/European) wedding at Ascension with 190 guests. Marina, Axel, Robert and the entire Ascension team were just brilliant. They were accommodating, always keen to help and nothing was a problem. They worked tirelessly to make sure everything was perfect and the day went off without a hitch. Such a pleasure getting to know and work with each of them. I’d highly recommend having your wedding or next event at Ascension!

We took an international conference group of 20 people for refreshments. Booked for 4.00pm and our table was ready on arrival. One long table on a shaded courtyard patio, beautifully set. Enjoyed delicious platters for an hour and sampled four local wines. A warm and welcoming experience.

We had lunch today at Ascension. We enjoyed the delicious cheeseballs. But we were very disappointed with the marinated olives and feta cheese. The green olives were hard. Not very enjoyable at all. We told the waitress but she didn't seem overly concerned. We told the maitre de who agreed with us that the olives were hard. He said that they were locally grown olives. Don't order the olives and feta cheese as you will be wasting your money. We also had pizza which was delicious. We ordered the Countryman red wine which was very nice. Overall-very enjoyable afternoon.

Oh my God! Such a great experience. I have already rate this restaurant in TripAdvisor. We came back just for our wedding anniversary and it was stunning. Food was unbelievable , always fresh and tasty which is super hard to find in nz. Staff is also very attentive and helpful. Thanks for the flowers on the table that was the cherry on top of the cake.

M.

Dinner for 6! A delightful experience (and somewhat new). The new owners of Ascension understand the need to combine excellent food with excellent home grown wine. This place has blossomed under new owner Gino, Chef Patrick (spelling may be totally off on Patrick here) and new maitre de Beth ( and her "girls"). The naturally friendly evening was topped off by the feeling we weren't being pushed out the door. A delight. Many thanks to all! Megs

N.

Awesome food and great service, depth of flavours was amazing. It had to be one of the best Pork Belly I have tried in a long time..highly recommended, The ambiance was great and their wine pairing superb. The whole experience was worth the hours drive , we will visit again for sure.

J.

This place is amazing .The waitress was very friendly. We loved the fireplace, made our experience very cosy. Food was very yum, I had the shpagetti di mare and Chardonnay it was delicious. Highly recommend!

B.

We enjoyed our lunch today on the Grab One Voucher. The food and service were first rate so we will certainly return for lunch or dinner. Thank you

C.

A lovely spot, but as you can see in the photo it could do with a lick of paint, seems they have not maintained the building well. Food looked amazing, but didn't get time to try.

(Translated) We went through here two months ago to buy some local wines. We sat down and ate something after we were there. I tried pintage and champagne. The food was fantastic and the wines were SUPER !!! We really enjoyed our afternoon at the winery! (Original) Περάσαμε από εδώ πριν δυο μήνες ν'αγοράσουμε κάποια τοπικά κρασιά. Καθίσαμε και φάγαμε κάτι, αφου ήμασταν εκεί. Δοκίμασα το πινοτάζ και η σαμπάνια. Tα φαγιτά ήταν φανταστικά και τα κρασιά ΣΟΥΠΕΡ!!! Απολαύσαμε πραγματικά το απογευμά μάς στο οινοποιείο!
